Lyon have only themselves to blame after their defeat against Olympique de Marseille (2-3) this Sunday in Ligue 1. Reduced to ten men after the rapid expulsion of Leonardo Balerdi, Marseille nevertheless managed to snatch the three points at the very end of the match.
A particularly bitter disappointment for the Gones, who, despite a clear advantage in terms of chances (16 against 7), were unable to capitalize during this Olympico. Jordan Veretout, OL midfielder, did not mince his words, describing his team’s performance as a “professional error”.
“It’s a defeat that hurts”
“When you play eleven against ten and you’re leading, you have to know how to kill the game, take security,” said. “It’s hard, because in the second half, they came into our camp three times to score three goals. It’s a defeat that hurts. We don’t have the right, it’s a professional error,” launched the OM defector.
“You are OL, you lead 1-0 with eleven against ten at home, you have to know how to keep the ball, make them move, you have to let them come and counter them. We entered the funnel, we took counters and that is what hurt us”Veretout regretted.
